Please charm this NPC

Knowing that the man was the Chen Wanglin he was looking for, Ran Wenyu immediately changed his original plan of following Liu Lei, turned around and called out, "Chen Wanglin?!"

Regarding this name, An Xueyuan, who did not participate in the search, only showed a puzzled expression, but Liu Lei immediately turned his head, but because the doctor was treating the injury, he could not move freely.

Of course, the man who reacted the most was the man who was in a daze.

The man was about 50 years old, with vertical and horizontal wrinkles on his face, pale complexion, and listless spirit, as if he had suffered a serious illness.Hearing his name, he seemed to be taken aback, his eyes frightened, and he relaxed a little when he saw that the person calling him was Ran Wenyu, and smiled with difficulty: "Oh...it's Mr. Ran... "

Ran Wenyu took two steps towards the man, hesitated to confirm again: "Chen Wanglin?"

——It’s not that he doesn’t believe KP’s introduction, but that this Chen Wanglin is far from what he imagined.The Academy of Agricultural Sciences employs farmers who are very good at farming, and they should be very strong, especially Professor Jia, who will definitely select the best among them to take care of their experimental fields.

Even if he was seriously ill, Chen Wanglin shouldn't lose weight so quickly. This kind of change is obviously unreasonable.

"KP, I should have seen the former Chen Wanglin for this role." Ran Wenyu asked, "Can I compare the difference between the former him and the current him?"

KP: [Of course.In your impression, Chen Wanglin should be a dark-skinned, muscular farmer in his early 40s, completely opposite to the pale, thin, aging man in front of him.If it weren't for the fact that his facial features didn't change in any way, you could hardly believe they were the same person. 】

KP's words confirmed Ran Wenyu's inference.

"What's wrong with you?" He walked up to Chen Wanglin, frowned and looked at him, "Are you seriously ill?"

"I think so." Chen Wanglin smiled wryly, "Recently, I've been feeling very tired and weak. At first I didn't take it seriously... After all, you know that something happened in the field recently, and Professor Jia was furious , I thought it was because I was under too much mental pressure, so when I got sick, I could get better if I took care of it, but I didn't expect it to get worse. Today, I really can't take it anymore, so I came to the infirmary for a checkup."

"Then what about the test results?" Ran Wenyu asked.

Chen Wanglin shook his head with a confused and terrified expression: "The doctor couldn't find out what's wrong with me. They just said that I'm very weak and I'm malnourished. I'm advised to eat more and have a good rest..."

Obviously, the doctor's conclusion didn't satisfy Chen Wanglin, he shook his lips: "Obviously, I've been trying hard to eat recently, and I've been resting in bed..."

Chen Wanglin's spirit is very unstable and seems to be on the verge of collapse.Ran Wenyu could only try to comfort him: "After all, we are not a specialized medical university, and the infirmary can only help teachers and students deal with some common diseases. You'd better go to a big hospital for a checkup."

"Yeah." Chen Wanglin's complexion softened a little, and he nodded, "I'll see a doctor when the matter in the field is resolved."

Ran Wenyu: "...Some illnesses cannot be delayed, maybe you can go see them as soon as possible."

Chen Wanglin seemed to be moved by Ran Wenyu's words, and there was a bit of struggle in his expression.

KP cast silently.

Afterwards, Chen Wanglin's expression became resolute again, and he shook his head: "No, let's wait until the matter is over. I am in charge of taking care of the field. Now it has become like this. I am also responsible. I can't run away."

Seeing Chen Wanglin's resolute expression, Ran Wenyu knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he didn't waste any more words: "So, when did you first feel unwell?"

"Probably not long ago...it was almost the same time when there were problems in the fields and the crops began to wither." Chen Wanglin tried hard to recall.

Ran Wenyu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Around the same time... that is... at the same time?"

At this time, An Xueyuan had already walked to Ran Wenyu and Chen Wanglin, listening intently to their conversation, and although Liu Lei couldn't walk away, he was still staring at this place, for fear of missing any details, even the pain in the wound. They were all ignored by him.

"I don't think this coincidence is a coincidence." An Xueyuan said, looking at Ran Wenyu inquiringly.

Ran Wenyu also nodded: "The wilting of plants and the illness of people must be related."

KP: [When you think of this, something flashes through your mind, please pass an inspiration check to see if you can catch that fleeting flash of inspiration. 】

Ran Wenyu's eyes lit up.

KP: [Inspiration check: Ran Wenyu, 75/44, successful.You suddenly remember that, when examining plants for disease, you felt as if they had been sapped of life by something.And now looking at Chen Wanglin, who is weak and pale, but can't detect any abnormality, you feel that he is exactly like those plants, being sucked by some invisible thing, until he completely withers and dies. 】

KP's words made all three present feel horrified, and Ran Wenyu was the direct victim.

KP: [You are frightened by your own imagination, please pass a willpower test with no reduction for success and 1D3 reduction for failure. 】

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

——Actually, I have already thought about this kind of development, but in order not to OOC, I still have to make an expression of fear.

KP: [Willpower test: Ran Wenyu, 58/39, successful. 】

Ran Wenyu escaped, looked at his little friends, quite dissatisfied: "Is it just me who needs SANCHECK?"

KP: [Yes, because this is just your own inspiration.Or do you want to voice your guesses?Then your teammates also need SANCHECK. 】

Liu Lei & An Xueyuan: "...No, we won't listen! Please don't tell me!"

Ran Wenyu looked disappointed.

So far, Ran Wenyu has been completely convinced of the culprit of the incident, but obviously, his teammates still know nothing about it.He hesitated for a moment, and decided to get as many clues as possible without OOC.

So, he turned to Chen Wanglin again: "Apart from physical weakness, do you have any other abnormal feelings? Any feeling is fine, even if you think it may be your hallucination."

KP snorted softly and found that Ran Wenyu was taking advantage of the loopholes, but he didn't stop him - after all, such inquiries are still barely within the scope of human settings.

Chen Wanglin hesitated for a moment: "I also think that I may have a skin disease."

"How to say?" Ran Wenyu asked.

"I often feel a burning sensation on my skin, but it is only faint and not real, and there are no traces on the skin, so I think it may be my hallucination." Chen Wanglin did not hide his illness at all.

Ran Wenyu nodded.

At this time, Liu Lei's injury had just been treated. His left thumb was tightly wrapped, which affected hand movement a bit, but since his dominant hand was the right hand, there was no major problem.

After the professional treatment by the doctors in the infirmary, Liu Lei's life force that had been deducted was fully restored, and the BUFF that halved the skills of both hands disappeared.After confirming to Ran Wenyu that the conversation between the two was over, he walked up to Chen Wanglin and took out his police officer ID: "I'm sorry, although I deeply sympathize with your physical condition, please cooperate with the police's investigation and evidence collection .”

Seeing Liu Lei in a police uniform with a serious face, Chen Wanglin immediately became nervous. He stood up from the hospital bed, his body swayed because of the sudden action, and then managed to stabilize: "Okay, okay, what do you want to ask?" ?”

Liu Lei looked at the infirmary where people often come and go, and made a "please" gesture: "Let's find a quiet place to talk."

Chen Wanglin didn't dare to have any opinion and nodded repeatedly.

The four of them left the infirmary and found an empty classroom nearby. Ran Wenyu also locked the door of the classroom so that no one would disturb them.

In the beginning, Liu Lei followed the general procedure and asked some routine questions such as "how do you take care of the field" and "have you found any abnormalities".Chen Wanglin answered very honestly - at least, this is how Liu Lei and An Xueyuan's psychology tests gave feedback.

After asking routine questions and seeing Chen Wanglin gradually relaxing, Liu Lei immediately changed the topic: "Today, when we went to the test field to investigate, we found that the room where you work is locked. Since we don't know where you are, we asked the project team After agreeing, we opened the door without authorization and searched."

Hearing what Liu Lei said, Chen Wanglin's face showed a trace of astonishment and anger of being intruded into his private domain. However, he pursed his lips and did not show this dissatisfaction. Obviously, he also realized that it belonged to The site of the project team, not his private territory.

Seeing that Chen Wanglin didn't make a sound, Liu Lei continued: "During the search, we found this." He raised his hand, and An Xueyuan immediately took out the small box that he stuffed into his satchel, and handed it to him.

Seeing the familiar iron box, Chen Wanglin's complexion changed suddenly, and he stood up abruptly: "It belongs to me! You have no right to take it away!"

"Although it is your personal belongings, we feel that it is a very important clue. In order to find out the case, we have the right to check the contents inside." Liu Lei, a fake policeman, fooled with righteous words, and he put the iron box away. On the desk in front of him, his hand did not move away, but pressed against the surface of the box to prevent Chen Wanglin from snatching it suddenly.

Probably because of the police uniform, when Liu Lei spoke in a deep voice, he still had a sense of majesty.Chen Wanglin was a little restless, his eyes flickering on the box, but he didn't dare to take it seriously.

——What's more, it doesn't make any sense even if he is robbed. Now he is so weak that he can't even beat Ran Wenyu, who is a frail scholar, let alone face Liu Lei, who is strong and strong.

After a long while, Chen Wanglin sat back down a little discouraged, but still tried to explain without giving up: "I swear, it's just my little collection, it's not something bad, and it has nothing to do with the field."

"Whether it is related or not, we have to open the box and check the contents to judge for ourselves." Liu Lei was unmoved, "What's more, its hiding place is very suspicious. If it's just a box for ordinary collectibles, then you Why hide it under a dusty bed?"

Chen Wanglin opened his mouth, speechless.

"Okay, now please cooperate with the investigation and hand over the key to the box." Liu Lei stretched out his other hand towards Chen Wanglin.

At the same time, Ran Wenyu also took a step forward, aggravating the threat: "Chen Gong, you don't want Professor Jia to know that you refuse to cooperate with the police investigation? Of course, if you insist on not handing over the keys, we will Take the box to the laboratory, and there is always a way to break it open."

KP: [Please roll persuasion or intimidation. Based on your previous performance, Chen Wanglin is currently extremely shaken. I can give you a bonus die. 】

Ran Wenyu and Liu Lei looked at each other, and Liu Lei checked his attributes: "Then let me vote for intimidation—as a police officer, intimidation is higher than persuasion. What kind of logic is this?"

[Because you are not good at words. ] KP smiles.

Liu Lei, an honest man who is not good at words: "……………………"

——So, this is what I mean by looking fierce? !

The intimidation with bonus dice did not produce any moths, and passed smoothly.

Chen Wanglin, who was intimidated by Ran Wenyu and Liu Lei, gave up struggling, obediently took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, and took off the smallest one.

Liu Lei took the small key and quickly opened the lock. The three investigators immediately gathered together, looking intently at the contents of the box.

Originally, they thought that there should be very important things in the box, but the fact made them disappointed and confused.

"This is... a bug?" An Xueyuan was surprised, and couldn't help frowning, showing a disgusted expression.

In the box, there were indeed insect specimens one after another.They were supposed to be nailed to the wooden board and arranged neatly, but because the box was dropped, many nails fell off, insect specimens were crowded together in a mess, and many limbs were missing.

——After all, the wings, antennae, feet and other parts of insects are originally relatively slender, and they are even more fragile after drying, and they almost fall off when touched. How can they withstand the impact of a box falling.

Seeing the contents of the box, the three investigators all looked at each other, not knowing what this clue meant.When Chen Wanglin saw the situation in the box, he showed a distressed and happy expression on his face.

"Officer, you have also seen that the box is just specimens of bugs. My own little hobby is not something shameful." Chen Wanglin smiled flatteringly and rubbed his hands.

"The contents of this box need further inspection." Liu Lei buttoned the box, but did not intend to return it to Chen Wanglin, "You can go back to rest now, pay attention to your body, if there is anything new, we will look for it again You asked."

Chen Wanglin, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, immediately became nervous again. He seemed to want to say something more, but finally nodded and left the classroom silently.

After Chen Wanglin left, Liu Lei, who had been putting on airs as a police officer, immediately relaxed, opened the box again, and wiped his forehead with a headache: "What's going on with this pile of insect specimens? I don't believe it's meaningless!"

"There must be a clue." Ran Wenyu sat next to Liu Lei, and carefully picked up a specimen, "I think we can't see anything now, it should be because we broke the box. So we can try to get the specimen first." They're back to normal."

"I agree too!" Although An Xueyuan was a little bit repelled by the bugs, he still bit the bullet and took a seat opposite, "Just now, I was observing Chen Wanglin's expression. When we were about to open the box, Chen Wanglin was obviously very nervous Yes, he should know that the contents of the box are unusual. But he was obviously relieved to see what the box really looked like, and the mess inside must have buried that clue."

After reaching an agreement, the investigators surrounded the box of confused insect specimens and fell silent again.

——Although the words are said in this way, it is not easy to "return to the original state"...
